Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to set a search domain within anaconda to use during kickstart?
I'd rather not have to set a FQDN for a certain service as its location specific that is dependent on SSL and therefore the certs.
I cant see anything in the docs listed but i thought i'd ask
cheers

Actually, my kickstarts run with the DNS info provided by my DNCP server. The only thing that I've had to do is copy the created /etc/resolv.conf file into the newly-built tree so that it's available to the system for running "post" scripts.

thanks for the reply - these are statically assigned kickstarts and DHCP is not involved - you can pass a DNS server to use as dns=1.2.3.4 but there appears to be no search=foo.com etc
AFAIK

The real question is how you identify the site-specific information in kickstart. Whatever key you use to do that should also be able to select a domain name or whatever other particular info needed, and then you can implement that in a "pre" script. Maybe something like:
echo "search ${sitedomainname}.org" >> /etc/resolv.conf
where $sitedomainname is the specific domain name for each site.
I could be the issue is thus (i have worked around it but its not clean enough for my liking)
i have a service that runs under SSL that is a global service that resolves locally - That is in dc A the IP is different to dc B however the service sits behind the same SSL certs that are non domain specific meaning that if i append a domain then you'll get a certificate mismatch. In all situations apart from kickstart this is fine as a local resolver can sort out the destination of the service based on the search domain, anaconda cant.
It seems a bit annoying i can manually specify a resolver to anaconda but not a search domain - its a non issue now, but an annoyance.
cheers
